Is poker a game of luck or skills?

I have its more a game of luck. It determines whether you get good or bad cards.

 

You need luck to get good cards; but you also need skills to decide when to follow and when to drop.
When to take a risk; or fake a 'threat'.

 

its both really cus wen ya got crap cards u need to bluff n keep cool

 

i play at www.pokerstars.com, and i think its 60% luck 40% skills

 

if you're playing for serious money, then it's a matter of skills. if you're playing a casual game, then it's more luck then skill.

 

i tyink its to do with both luck and skills....to be honest.....but i suck at poker....can never seem to bluff >.<

 

^That's why I said need skills to cover up

 

Guess you need lots of skills to cover up everything

I think, it depends on what type of person you are.

 

^ thats also very true mav....as i always end up laughing or giggling away when i got "good" cards or so my friends say as i always have to pair up wid someone as i dont actually fully understand the game

 

^Lol bbear.. then u giggle every time lo.. They wun know when u haf bad cards

Just like that stephen chow haha always "Showhand"

 

^ but when i got bad cards i also *sigh* so i just give up and watch my friends play instead...or sometimes i help my friends out by looking at other peoples cards hahaah

 

its skilllz!

 

^ yup skills you aint got yet either

 

^ wat u saying!! i owned pinkeye and ndru and danny and mk!!!
